Abstract
Improvement in the manufacturing process on the basis of lean production is considered. Specifically, attention focuses on value stream maps (VSM), the Kanban system, just-in-time (JIT) production, single-minute exchange of dies (SMED), and the five-step (5S) system, as applied to the production of special-purpose clocks. Current and future value stream maps for the Chelyabinsk clock plant are created and assessed. A process for introduction of the VSM method at the plant is developed, along with the corresponding standard. The economic benefits of the research project are noted.
